Former governor of Enugu State and current senator for the Enugu East constituency of the state, Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani, has reiterated his support for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who is running for president of the All Progressives Congress (APC). He asserted that he backs Tinubu not out of any particular inclination but rather because of a desire to include the southeast in Nigerian politics.
Nnamani confirmed his support for Asiwaju on Monday night when he welcomed many members of the Asiwaju Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) to his country home in Agbani, Enugu state.
Among the APC PCC members that visited the PDP Senator were former Senate President Ken Nnamani, South East APC PCC Spokesperson Dr Josef Onoh, Chief Onyemuche Nnamani, and Hon. Adolphus C. Udeh.
Asiwaju Tinubu will be elected president of Nigeria on February 25, 2023, according to Nnamani, who stated this in his speech to the audience. This is because he possesses the qualities needed to lead and unify the nation.
Former Senate President Ken Nnamani openly applauded the former governor for supporting Asiwaju for President and renewed his support for the cause.
Josef Onoh, PCC spokesman for the South East, claims that Sen. Chimaroke Nnamani has consistently upheld the Asaba, Enugu, and Lagos accord of the southern governors, which states that the next president of Nigeria must be of southern origin after the northern region has been in power for eight years.
“I thank Senator Chimaroke Nnamani for standing by that principle and his commitment towards ensuring that Asiwaju emerges the next president of Nigeria. I have made it clear that the time has come not just for renewed hope for Nigeria but for our future generation.
“Asiwaju as a father has come to a point where he said that what he wants to offer is a better foundation for all parts of the country, and I’m with Asiwaju in that course,” Onoh said.
In addition, Onoh praised Senator Ken Nnamani’s efforts to guarantee that Tinubu is elected as the next president of Nigeria by participating in discussions to that end.
“Your commitments to the project Nigeria has renewed hope of the south easterners’ reintegration and your politics without sentiment is a guide to our people”, he said
He spoke highly of Sen. Ken Nnamani and Dr Chimaroke Nnamani, assuring them of Asiwaju’s unwavering regard and vowing never to take their relationship for granted.
